The Ladybugs

The Ladybugs

“In all of contemporary music, the Ladybugs are easily one of my favorite things. The emerging genre generally known as the new hot jazz, has no shortage of artists who are talented, imaginative, attractive, and ridiculously young. But even by that standard, the Ladybugs stand out as a vocal duo that is both charming and musically substantial in equal portions.” - Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal

The Ladybugs' music features the dreamy, dulcet tones of voices and trombones. Their unique instrumentation of two lead singers (both doubling in percussion & ukulele), two trombone players, guitar, and bass allows for a lush sound that uplifts and attracts all audiences. The Ladybugs’ repertoire includes favorites from the 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s, infused with country, blues, latin, and classical music.

“The Ladybugs’ refreshing sound and smart interpretations of early jazz tunes come as something of a revelation: light popular music from the early 1900s still has the power to enchant … The talent in this band is enormous” - The New York City Jazz Record

The Ladybugs has received high praise for recent performances at Jazz At Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the NYC Winter Jazzfest, the NY Hot Jazz Festival, and the Catskill Jazz Factory.
